Oswiecim, Panstwowe Muzeum, 1965, 1st ed., 94,(1) pag., 40 black and white photographs of Auschwitz by Tadeusz Szymanski, Tadeusz Iwaszko, Wieslaw Kielar, Ryszard Kropek, Jerzy Frackiewicz, Adam Bujak and others, Polish and English text, sewn in original photo-illustrated boards with silver-paper covered board spine, 11,3 x 11,4 cm. = Iconic and extremely hard to find photo-documentary of Auschwitz concentration camp; many of the selected shots, including some by Adam Bujak, became a permanent part of the iconography of Auschwitz-Birkenau. KL Auschwitz was the largest of the German Nazi concentration camps and extermination centers. Over 1.1 million men, women and children lost their lives there. Parr/ Badger, The Photobook II, p.244-245: "In 1965, the Panstwowe Museum in Poland called for photographs of the concentration camp at Auschwitz for an exhibition. The best were published in Oswiecim/Auschwitz, a very small but haunting photobook. The photographs collected by the museum were taken from 1945 and 1965, but the majority share a particular vision. The camp is seen as a ruin, which predicates a poetic approach by the photographers (or the editor) to conveying what the place was about. (...) Many of the photographs were taken in winter, when the camp was at its bleakest. They frequently show trees, as if nature could somehow expiate the worst crimes of mankind, though one of the great ironies about Auschwitz is that the camps were built amongst birch woods.“ The rarity of the booklet apart is also due to its very small-size and the fragility of the boards, especially its spine is easily torn off. The present copy lacks only a 1 cm. portion at top of spine; modern jewish ex-libris mounted to verso title.
